Description

Turn frozen tuna steak into flaky tuna puttanesca with the help of your Instant Pot and some basic pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 (24 ounce) jar traditional spaghetti sauce (such as Barilla®)
1/2 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1/4 cup vegetable broth
1 (6 ounce) frozen tuna steak
1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
2 tablespoons sliced black olives, drained
1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil in the pot. Add onion and garlic; saute until softened and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
2 Add spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, and broth; stir to combine. Nestle tuna steak into the middle of the sauce. Cancel Saute function. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
3 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4 Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Flake tuna apart with a fork. Add olives, capers, anchovy paste, herbes de Provence, and cayenne. Stir to combine and serve over hot cooked spaghetti.
